      Pros

      They pay around 65k with over time

      Cons

      No work life balance. You'll be at work from 6am-4am and have to go back to do draw change on weekends night EVERY WEEKEND. 7:30-10pm Almost never get to enjoy friends or the money

      Pros

      Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

      Cons

      They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
